Explain how to divide 3/4 ÷ 3/8 by using reciprocal of 3/8

1 answer:

5 0

The reciprocal of 3/8 would be 8/3 (basically reversing the numbers).

When dividing fractions, you can just multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction instead of dividing by the second fraction.

3/4 ÷ 3/8

= 3/4 × 8/3

Simplifying gives us the final answer:

= 2

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!

5-2(x+5)=3x-15 solve for X

Maslowich

Answer:

x= 2

Step-by-step explanation:

5 -2(x +5)= 3x -15

Expand:

5 -2x -2(5)= 3x -15

5 -2x -10= 3x -15

Simplify:

-2x -5= 3x -15

Bring x terms to 1 side, constant to the other:

3x +2x= 15 -5

5x= 10

Divide both sides by 5:

x= 10 ÷5

x= 2

Work out the size of the angle marked t

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an isoceles triangle

And as we all know an isoceles triangle has two equal base angles.

And we also know that the sum of all interior angles of the triangle is 180°

So based on this we can form an algebraic equation of solve for angke t (Let's do it :))

$110 + 2t = 180 \\ 2t = 180 - 110 \\ 2t = 70 \\ t = \frac{70}{2} \\ t = 35$

So the base angle is 35°
